Seed rain into upland plant communities in Hong Kong, China [PDF]
Hong Kong is an extreme example of tropical landscape degradation, with no substantial remnants of the original forest cover and a highly impoverished disperser fauna.

Natural experiment demonstrates that bird loss leads to cessation of dispersal of native seeds from intact to degraded forests. [PDF]
In healthy forests, vertebrate frugivores move seeds from intact to degraded forests, aiding in the passive regeneration of degraded forests. Yet vertebrate frugivores are declining around the world, and little is known about the impact of this loss on ...

Notes on Feeding Behavior of Atlanticus Testaceus (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae) [PDF]
The Biology and Feeding behavior of Atlanticus testaceus (scudder) has received considerable attention by Gangwere (1966, 1967). While studying summer feeding of the adult Atlanticus testaceus in a Northern Michigan Jack Pine forest on the seeds of ...

Effect of Coriaria arborea on seed banks during primary succession on Mt Tarawera, New Zealand [PDF]
An experiment was conducted over two years to investigate the effect of Coriaria arborea, a native nitrogen-fixing shrub, on soil seed banks at sites representing a post-volcanic successional sequence on Mt Tarawera, New Zealand.

Intraspecific variability of seed quality and seedling development of Larix sibirica Ledeb. in a sowing experiment [PDF]
The results of a sowing experiment to assess the field germination of seeds, preservation and growth of seedlings of the Siberian larch Larix sibirica Ledeb., representing ecotypic (population) and form (individual) levels of intraspecific ...

Habitat effects on hoarding plasticity in the Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris). [PDF]
Hoarding patterns can be classified into two general types: scatter-hoarding and larder-hoarding, but there are intermediate types. Various factors affect hoarding patterns.

Variability of pine cedar siberian seeds, which grow in different forest areas
The indicators for seeds of Pne cedar Siberian (Pinus sibirica Du Tour) growing in different forest areas of the Krasnoyarsk territory and Irkutsk region have been presented. The object of research was the seeds harvested in the 20 populations.
